One Year already!
On the 19th JJ had her first birthday! We went to Grandma Brenda's, where were surrounded by family and lots of food (from Panera...nobody's cooking when they cater!), along with a My Little Pony cake and plenty of gifts! Thanks to everyone :)
J did really well for being away from home and up for a lot of hours. The tissue paper was more interesting than the gifts for the most part. The icing wasn't a hit until she really got a good taste...then there was a big grin. SUGAR! She still has such a wonderful, happy personality. It's like she is just glad to be wherever she is..we are so lucky to have such a wonderful child!
She's climbing up now, and is crawling at warp speed. Mom has a hard time keeping up with her, but chasing is fun too! At our checkup she weighed 20.6 pounds and is 29" long. Exactly 50% percentile for both! We're also switching from formula to whole milk (pretty traumatic) and she is eating more and more finger food every day. She LOVES Boca burgers (yummy soy), cheese, and freeze dried fruit.
It's been quite a year for us, and it does go so fast it's hard to believe. Some days we wish we could stop time and keep her small for just a minute...but then she does something new and you know it's even more incredibly interesting each day. The next year will be just as amazing, we're sure!
Enjoy the pictures!
